The tour shares its name with the multi-hyphenate's new album, 'MAYHEM', which arrived in March. Singles from the record include Disease, Abracadabra and Die With A Smile with Bruno Mars

Prior to the tour, the singer will join Green Day and Post Malone in headlining the two weekends of Coachella festival in California in April.


Chris Brown

The polarising performer has scheduled stadium and arena shows across North America, the UK and Europe for his Breezy Bowl XX World Tour.

Between June 8 and July 5, the singer will play Manchester's Co-Op Live arena, Cardiff's Principality Stadium, London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Birmingham's Villa Park, Dublin's Marlay Park and Glasgow's Hampden Park, alongside stops in the Netherlands, Germany, and France.

The European leg will precede dates across North America from July 30 and September 20, which include notable stops at Boston's Fenway Park and Chicago's Wrigley Field.

Brown released his latest album, '11:11', in 2023, which was followed by a deluxe edition in 2024.


Refused

The Swedish band have lined up their final tour dates in the UK and Europe.

They'll kick off the farewell run with gigs in Germany, calling in Berlin, Frankfurt and Hamburg in June, and Biarritz, France and Zurich, Switzerland in July. They've also scheduled shows in Glasgow, Manchester, London, Dublin, Paris, Lille and Leipzig between October 1 and 11. Tickets go on general sale at 9am BST/10am CEST on Friday (April 4) - Compare and buy tickets here.

The new shows will follow the previously scheduled spring North American dates, billed as Refused Are F**cking Dead, And This Time They Really Mean It, which continues at the Knitting Factory in Boise, Idaho tomorrow (April 4).

Last September, the Swedish band announced they were calling it a day. At the time, their drummer David Sandström posted a statement to their social media accounts, which revealed they had begun farewell plans earlier in 2024, but things were derailed when singer Dennis Lyxzén suffered a heart attack that summer.

Refused formed back in the early '90s and have put out five albums to date, the latest being 2019's 'War Music', though the band are best known for 1998's 'The Shape of Punk to Come', after which they split for the first time. They reunited in 2012 and released two more albums, and some EPs, the latest of the latter being 2020's 'The Malignant Fire'.


My Bloody Valentine

The legendary shoegaze band has lined up their first headline UK tour in more than a decade.

They'll follow up their previously scheduled, now sold-out Dublin 3Arena show on November 22 with gigs at Manchester's Aviva Studios on November 24, the OVO Arena Wembley in London on November 25 and Glasgow's OVO Hydro on November 27. 

Tickets go on general sale at 10am on Friday (April 4) - Compare and buy tickets here.

The band, who formed in Dublin back in 1983, have put out three studio albums to date: 1988's 'Isn't Anything', 1991's 'Loveless' and 2013's 'm b v'.


Bob Weir And Wolf Bros

The Grateful Dead co-founding member has lined up a special London show with the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra for the summer.

The veteran singer and guitarist will take to the stage with his band Wolf Bros — Grammy-winning producer Don Was on bass, and his Dead and Company bandmates Jeff Chimenti on piano and Jay Lane on drums — at the Royal Albert Hall on June 21.

The show, Weir's first in London in 22 years, will feature two sets of music made up of reimagined Grateful Dead songs, and tunes from Weir's solo career, all performed for the first time in the UK with a full 68-piece orchestra. Tickets go on general sale at 4pm on Friday (April 4) - Compare and buy tickets here.

Weir put out his most recent solo studio album, 'Blue Mountain', in 2016, and with the Wolf Bros released two live albums, 'Live In Colorado' and 'Live In Colorado Vol. 2', in 2022, featuring recordings from their four concerts in Colorado in 2021.

More recently, the 77-year-old has been performing as part of Dead And Company alongside fellow Grateful Dead member Mickey Hart, as well as John Mayer, Oteil Burbridge, Jeff Chimenti and Jay Lane.

The rock supergroup reunited last month to kick off their new Dead Forever 2025 residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas, which coincides with their 10th anniversary and has dates running through to mid-May. Tickets are on sale now.
